Page 2. <br /> <br />Perhaps an explanation of how the ZIP Code works would <br />illustrate the limited number available. The ZIP Code <br />system provides a distinct five-digit number for each post <br />office and delivery unit in the country. The first digit <br />identifies one of ten large geographic areas of the nation; <br />the second and third digits designate a major distribution <br />area, usually a sectional center; and the last two digits <br />represent an associate pos~ office served by the sectional <br />center. The same system applies to major cities and delivery <br />units within those cities. <br /> <br />Twin Cities Field Division officials, who have administrative <br />responsibility for the Ramsey area, will continue to review <br />this matter as part of our operational procedures. If <br />service appears to be hampered by an inadequate ZIP Code, <br />further study can <br /> be <br /> initiated. <br /> <br />If I may be of further assistance, please let me know. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />William R. Lally <br />Representative <br />Office of Government Liaison <br /> <br /> <br />
